1 p.m. Jan. 10 update: The water main in Cedar Point will be repaired around 3 p.m. and water will be restored with continued low pressure while we are flushing. There were several subdivisions where we turned the valves off entirely to prevent water from entering or existing. We will keep those off until the water has been flushed past their entrances.

Although every sanitation effort is being made during this repair, we have issued a System Pressure Advisory as a PRECAUTION. That advisory will suggest that you boil all water that will be used for food preparation, brushing teeth, preparing ice, etc. Once satisfactory samples have been received, generally within 24 hours, we will formally rescind the notice.

Stay tuned to this page, our website, and the media for that information or call our office at (252) 393-1515. If you have not done so, visit our website for updates and sign up for texted or emailed alerts (option on right side of the main web page). Although it could not be prevented, we apologize for the obvious inconvenience that is associated with water outages. Lisa Smith-Perri, GM/Exec Dir.
